getinstrs - extracts TrueType instructions for one or more glyphs from a font.
Contents
Description
getinstrs calls the FontForge Python extension to extract instructions from a TrueType font (either .ttf
or .sfd) and print them to stdout (redirect to capture them in a file). By default the instructions are
printed as an Xgridfit glyph program. Use the -r, --raw command-line option to print them as "raw"
instructions instead, or use -x, --xgridfit to enclose the glyph program(s) in an <xgridfit> element,
making a complete, valid Xgridfit program.
